Secondary Infertilty

My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years now, each one of us has one child from our previous relationships, (we're less than 31 yrs old) I've never used birth control of any kind and it was fairly easy for me to conceive the first (and only) time, never had a miscarriage, abortion, never tested positive for std's and my menstrual cycle is very normal.We've been tested for all sorts of things, including a semen analysis for him and everything seems to be ok, tried ovulation kits, medication, etc, etc....At this point, having a child of our own is important, but finding out what the problem is it's becoming priority.Please help.

There could be many reasons why you arent concieving. You dont state whether you are seeing a OB/GYN or a Reproductive Endocrinologist or exactly what tests you have had done. If you havent been to see a RE, now would be the time to do so.m

Instead of trying to find what the problem is by western allopathic standards, why not try acupuncture to help with your fertility problems. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine are so helpful for this! There have been a lot of promising studies done on acupuncture and infertility. It is much less invasive than allopathic IVF or other treatments. I have only treated two women for infertility, but they both became pregnant and now have healthy children! The fact is that stress can play a huge role and it won't show up on any tests. Please try acupuncture - it works! Best wishesDOM
